Unstable LimeWire, "Upgrade to LimeWire pro!" window crashing it most likely......

[Fox 21 Alpha]

I have a eMac running OSX running Verision 10.2.8. Limewire seems to crash upon opening as soon as I click any of the options in the pop up window for limewire pro after startup. Although I found that if I'm in Finder, and don't have any finder windows showing, that upon start up, in the background the search box will have the text icon flashing. If I wait till I get connected, and type in something and search for it, wait for most of the search to load, and then, after I have searched, that I can click the "later" option or any option seems to work and at that point ussualy will load up the tip and then allow me access to everything else without crashing. Otherwise, after click an option, it will crash if I have not searched for something yet. It sometimes can take a few tries to get it to boot up with the text selector icon [So that I may type text in, being I'm not allowed to click anywhere outside of the upgrade to pro box"] in the search box. I don't know anything about my Java and such, cause I know that can cause a few problems. I also tried reinstalling it. I also tried opening console while it crashes, and I don't know how to read it exactaly, but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary with any other crashes. Its kinda a pain, so if you can offer any help I'd be grateful. Also, anytime I try to play a windows media file, it opens explorer to a windows page that says I don't have a V7 Compatable driver or something, I downloaded VLC, but I haven't tested it yet. Thanks for any help you can offer....
